Mamma Mia! I've been betrayed!

I believe at least two people on my flist posted their impressions of the movie based on the Broadway musical based on the music of ABBA.  I remember people saying that Pierce Brosnan shouldn't sing.

I was given the movie as a present from my mother-in-law.  All the 'girls' in the family got a copy.  I figured it was light enough to watch as I ironed clothes.  Mr. Bond started singing, and I winced.  Thankfully time didn't stand still and the moment passed.  I thought I was safe.  I don't recall anybody mentioning how much they gave him to sing.  He started up again, and I gripped my iron tightly, concentrating on forcing out those wrinkles rather than listening to the TV.  The moment passed, and after a cleansing breath, I thought I could continue, but I was wrong!  It was rather painful.  I was really hoping Donna would leave him writhing in emotional pain and go off with Colin Firth, but sadly that wasn't to be.

I also saw Wall-E and Despereaux this weekend.  Both were very good.
